Another stat is that 16.41% of the games have had a loser point in the western conference, much above the 12.2% from last year. If that pace keeps up and the extra loser points are spread out amongst all teams a .604 winning percentage will be needed to make the playoffs, which is 58 points. That would mean that the Flames would have to go 12 games over on their last 42 to make the playoffs (27-15 or a .643 winning percentage).
But I would agree, the SV% probably goes up to about .910 and the SH% might go up a bit as well to maybe 8.5%. That should lead to some more wins, knowing the Flames luck enough to get them into 10th place.
